SOLD: Andre Van der End - Can be either PJ or JJ (Now only £600)
therealting replied to Raslee's topic in Basses For Sale
I’m very relieved it’s too heavy for me, I kept coming back to look at this. Bet it sounds amazing. -
If I wasn't mad on.... I think I'd try...

I had a Combustion, didn’t get along with it due to the sound and the long scale length. Traded it up for a Super J and found “it”. Then bought a matching Super P, swapped in Sadowsky preamps, and I have the two best fivers I’ve ever had, and amongst the two best I’ve ever played. -
45-130s aren’t super heavy strings. Sounds like the truss rod is maxed out. Creaking and pinging is probably sticky or narrow nut slots.
-
Ah, was this the original one that came with my MV4? -
Threw a little demo together for anyone wanting to hear it. EQ flat, mid-boost off, pickup blend centred between both pickups. Please don’t judge my fretless playing! https://www.dropbox.com/s/f7aar3tct5gfqu3/MTD Grendel Demo.mp3?dl=0 -
I have the Rumble Combo V3 and think it’s outstanding for the money especially secondhand. They’re so cheap that I’m toying with getting a second one instead of an extension cab!
-
The J-Retro takes a bit of getting used to. The mistake most people make is running the bass at the halfway detent - on the J-Retro, the bass is boost only, so flat is actually with the bass rolled all the way off.
-
Interesting, which MXR is that? The frequencies are just one part of the equation. I actually don’t use my Sadowsky DI much any more since getting a Noble, which supposedly has very similar frequency points but sounds and feels very different.
-
Alternatively, get a Sadowsky preamp DI, which will also make all your other basses sound amazing too.
-
Yup. Solderless connectors.
-
MIJ Jazz Basses are worth spending a bit of money on. Seek out a secondhand pair of the best pickups you can get, and you’ll probably end up playing it more than you think. I put a pair of Nordstrands and a J-Retro into my medium-scale Jazz, and it is such a killer banger now.

Double bass, bass guitar and guitar are all transposing instruments that sound an octave below being written, so you have to play the notes an octave above to have them sound right. It is a pain, and I hate reading from tuba parts!

What was it? Hate it when all the details are removed!

"Sold" Schecter cv- 5 string bass ivory £350.00

... also looks like a Sadowsky RV4? -
Fender flats have green silks. I have them on my 61 Precision.
-
Still for sale. Only moving on because I’ve moved to electric upright for acoustic gigs, this is a stunning bass for the money.
-
Completely plain wenge board, but the MTD that I have for sale in the classifieds is very good.
-
I own an Eminence, and I have to say that Aria is a very good looking bass! Does it generate much acoustic volume? I notice there’s a bridge pickup, do you find that more authentic sounding than the magnetic one?
-
That is a little bit of a steal right there...! Very tempted to nab this for my school -
Oh if you were in London. This like a discount P34 😍
-
They are more demanding in terms of getting a good consistent mwah, if that’s what you’re after. Definitely worth having the fingerboard levelled if it isn’t in great shape.
-
Sounds pretty hi-fi.
-
This. The great thing about this P setup is that it generally sounds great in the mix of almost anything other than possibly slappy stuff.
-
If that had a normal body, I’d be very interested!

1/2 size Antoni ADB05 Double Bass
therealting replied to sjc's topic in EUBs & Double Basses For Sale
£100 is a great deal for a starter double bass for a smaller learner!
